Daytona Beach police were called to investigate two deaths Sunday morning.

The first was a deadly single-vehicle crash on Nova Road that happened just after 4 a.m., according to a written report.

Vincent G. Yulo, 47, of Port Orange was driving north on Nova Road when he lost control of his truck after changing lanes several times and hit a tree in front of Fire Station 5, located at 627 N. Nova Road, the report states.

"It appears he was operating the vehicle in an erratic or reckless manner," according to the report. It is unknown if alcohol was a factor.

Four hours later, a dead man was found beside a house at 520 N. Ridgewood Ave, said Police Chief Mike Chitwood.

"It appears he died of natural causes," the chief said. "There were no signs of foul play."

The man, who is believed to be about 40 or 50, has not been identified.

"His identification and cause of death are pending autopsy," Chitwood said.
